6.5 vs 6.8 hunting ranges

[adrenaline junkie]

I think they're all fine rounds. I have three of those listed and would like to add one or two more. Your numbers are a bit weak though. Most hornady sst shot though an 18 inch barrel will be closer to 2600 fps. Mine was around 2612. Of course the grendel numbers my be higher too, mine is 24 inches but ive never shot any factory loads through it. Cant find any. Imho as far as hunting distances go, theres not much difference between the two. 400 is pretty much a max on either.

I also think the 30ar with a 150 grain bullet at 2600 is going to make your graph look a lot different. Sure wish remington wasn't dropping the ball on that cartridge. That would have been one of the best hunting ars made yet.
